Government speaks tough on violation of LoC

New Delhi: Under attack from the opposition over the killing of soldiers in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch sector, the government on Wednesday said that violation of the Line of Control (LoC) will not be tolerated.

Both Houses of Parliament witnessed uproarious scenes over contradictory statements by Defence Minister AK Antony and the Army on the incident.

"The Defence Minister has made a very clear statement in the House. Now the Army chief has gone to the spot and whatever information he will get that will be conveyed. Violation of the LoC will not be allowed at any cost," Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Rajiv Shukla said outside Parliament House.

Asked about BJP's demand for an apology from Antony over the contradictory statements on border incident, Shukla said, "I do not agree with it.”

"In their (NDA) time, Parliamnent was attacked. What did they do? BJP is trying to get political advantage out of it," Shukla added.
